Scott Nicol responded with a check-jam to 38,000, before Steven Keay rejammed, forcing a fold from Wickham.

Scott Nicol: 8♥4♦
Steven Keay: A♣10♣

It was two pair over two pair, and Keay had the best of it, while the 9♣ river confirmed his exit.

Daniel Curry was in the big blind, and after some thought, he cold four-bet jammed for around 90,000, forcing Combe to fold.

Carlos Luzon: A♣8♠
Daniel Curry: A♦J♣

Luzon was dominated, and he was up out of his chair while wishing Curry good luck.

Luzon missed the 7♦6♦6♥ flop, but found top pair on the 8♦ turn. However, it was followed by the J♠ river, sending Luzon to the rail.

On the Q♦6♣5♥ flop, Lennon check-folded versus a bet of 25,000 from Zhen.

Marc Brown: 5♠5♦
Zhen Zhen: A♥Q♥

Brown was in great shape with a set versus top pair, and although the A♦ turn brought a sweat, the 10♠ river was a brick.

Marc Brown – 112,500
Zhen Zhen – 155,000
Paul Lennon – 235,000

Brian Etheridge opened to 5,000 from the button, and was met with a three-bet to 17,500 from Milorad Dobrijevic in the big blind.

On the 3♠ river, Dobrijevic triple-barreled with a bet of 35,000. Etheridge said “I don’t think I can fold”, and paid the bill.

Dobrijevic tabled A♠J♣ for top pair top kicker, and he had pipped Etheridge’s Q♠J♥.

“Nice hand, nice bet, I would have folded to a jam”, remarked Etheridge.

Milorad Dobrijevic – 248,000
Brian Etheridge – 98,000

The K♠ river completed the board, and Mullen check-called a bet of 12,000 from Staples.

Staples tabled J♥10♥ for two pair, and Mullen was bluff-catching with A♥Q♥.

Jaime Staples – 126,000
Anthony Mullen – 133,000

Kyle Scott was all-in for 33,000, and at risk against Scott Nicol.

Kyle Scott: K♥10♥

It was a fair fight, but Scott found a pair on the 10♠6♦5♥ flop, and there was no two-outer for Nicol on the A♥ turn or 5♣ river.

Kyle Scott – 71,000
Scott Nicol – 70,000

Raymond Peacock – 58,800
Shane Henderson – 0

The players have been sent on their second break of the day, with late registration in Day 1a of the Mini Main closing before the start of the next level.

Anthony Mullen was all-in for 58,400 and at risk against David Gallagher, who just covered his opponent.

Anthony Mullen: A♠J♦
David Gallagher: 7♦6♦

Mullen was ahead, and Gallagher was drawing dead after the A♥A♦A♣ flop gave Mullen quad aces.

The 2♣5♦ turn and river completed the board, and Mullen quipped “It’s been a while since that happened!” as he raked in the pot.

Anthony Mullen – 120,800
David Gallgher – 3,100

Daniel Tresa opened to 3,200 from the hijack, and received a call from Alan Hadden in the cutoff, before John Woods produced a three-bet to 13,000 from the small blind.

Tresa folded, but Hadden called to see the 9♦8♦3♣ flop. Woods fired out a bet of 14,000, and Hadden took quite a bit of time for thought before calling.

The K♦ rolled off on the turn, and Hadden folded in the face of a jam of 37,800 from Woods.

John Woods – 98,000
Alan Hadden – 91,000

A pot of 27,000 had brewed on a flop of 7♣6♦4♠, and Alban Rrushi and Nicholas Scott checked to Sharaz Moad.

Alban Rrushi: 5♣5♦
Nicholas Scott: 9♥8♣

Nicholas Scott – 77,000
Sharaz Moad – 100,000

Kevin Frame opened to 2,500 from the cutoff, and received calls from Stephen Maxwell on the button, and William Smith in the big blind.

The K♣ river completed the board, and Frame check-folded without ceremony in the face of a bet of 11,000 from Maxwell, who flashed 7♥7♣ as he raked in the pot.

Stephen Maxwell – 152,000
Kevin Frame – 110,000

Alexander Wickham opened to 2,500 from middle position, and David Gallagher defended the big blind.

The same pattern followed on the 6♠ turn and 8♦ river, with Wickham betting 5,000 on both streets.

Alexander Wickham – 56,500

Around 33,000 had made its way into the middle by the river on a board of 8♠4♦2♦9♦K♣.

Hugh Osborne – 32,500
Josh Tweedie – 109,000

James Gray was all-in for 9,100 and at risk against Joseph Brannigan.

Zhen Zhen – 54,000
Ivan Meister – 85,000

Darren Woodruff: 7♦7♥
Trevor Mills: K♦J♦

Darren Woodruff – 94,000
Trevor Mills – 3,100

Nicholas Scott opened to 1,500 from middle position, and received a call from Sharaz Moad in the hijack, before Ryan McVey produced a three-bet to 4,100 from the cutoff.

Nicholas Scott – 35,000

Maxwell checked, and Rrushi fired out a bet of 7,600. Maxwell spent a reasonable period of time in the tank, but made the call.

Alban Rrushi – 62,500
Stephen Maxwell – 27,000

There was 1,200 in front of Christos Loizou under the gun, and 3,500 in front of Nathan Drummond on the button.

Etheridge called to see the 6♠ river, where Marco again led out with a bet of 11,500. Etheridge jammed for around 26,000, and Marco snap-called for his roughly 20,000 stack.

Marco tabled A♥6♦ for sixes full of aces, and could barely believe his eyes when Etheridge turned over A♦A♠ for aces full of sixes.

Brian Etheridge – 75,000
Michael Marco – 0

Ishbel Leddy was sweeping in a full double-up, after waking up with pocket rockets versus her opponent’s pocket kings. The stacks made their way into the middle preflop, and Leddy flopped a set, rendering her opponent’s turned set irrelevant.

Leddy had apparently picked up pocket queens in the previous hand, hitting another set to bust her opponent, and has in excess of three starting stacks already.

Ishel Leddy – 134,000

Ramlal Basdeo opened to 400 under the gun, and received a call from Douglas McVey in the next seat.

Alex Gillies produced a three-bet to 1,700 next along, before Omid Nikjeh cold-called in the cutoff. Basdeo and McVey both called to make it four-way to the flop in a three-bet pot.

The 8♣5♦4♣ flop was checked to Gillies, who fired out a bet of 2,500. Nikjeh folded, but both Basdeo and McVey called.

The J♥ hit on the turn, and was checked through to the Q♣ river, where action was checked to Gillies.

Gillies slid out a bet of 6,000, which only Basdeo called. Gillies confidently tabled J♣J♠ for a turned set of jacks, but was shocked to see Basdeo had Q♥Q♠ for a rivered set of queens.

Alex Gillies – 30,000
Douglas McVey – 38,000
Omid Nikjeh – 35,000

Michael Dock – 42,800
Michael Marco – 37,200

Early birds include David Docherty and London Main Event final tablist Ivan Meister, who are aiming to follow in the footsteps of Christian Watt as the Glasgow Mini Main Event champion.

The PartyPoker Tour crowned its latest Main Event champion just three weeks ago, as Daniel Smith of Wales turned a free online satellite ticket into a £22,500 payday in London. Now, the latest opportunity for players to etch their name into PartyPoker history has arrived, with the tour descending on the Alea Casino in Glasgow from 3-9 August for its sixth stop of 2026.

With the city fresh off hosting a hugely successful Commonwealth Games, attention turns from the pool and track to the tables. It is the second time the tour has been hosted by the stunning venue on the banks of the River Clyde.

Last year, Zhen Zhen battled to Main Event glory, overcoming a 256-entry field to bank £22,500 after slaying a tough final table comprising David Lappin, PartyPoker Tour ambassador Jaime Staples, Kevin Frame and Dean Lyall. Zhen remains the only female winner of the £100,000 guaranteed flagship event in tour history.
